Driving simulators
SAAM
Real scale dynamic car driving simulator
Specifications: Renault Twingo 2 car mounted on a MOOG 6DOF 2000E platform (electric cylinders), environment visualization on a hemicylindrical display (1.20m height; 150° field of view) with 3 Projection Design F10SX+ videoprojectors, visualization of external and internal mirrors through LCD displays, real-time graphics and driving environment rendering, interaction metaphors with the cockpit (visual, sound and haptic) by a cluster of 6 computers
The SAAM high performance dynamic simulator uses the SCANeR Studio software, provided to Arts et Métiers by AV Simulation in the frame of a research collaboration between the LiV research laboratory and AV Simulation.
